Examples

Instead, we have new pepperpots that are somewhat taller (apparently so that the eyestalks could have an eyeline with Karen Gillan, who's nearly six feet tall), come in bright shiny colors like the movie Daleks from the sixties ... and have bustles.

And the Daleks themselves are pretty memorable here, though Whitaker seems a bit confused about their size - three feet high at one point, four foot six at another, though the illustrations are of our "normal" sized pepperpots.

Before the new series even started, writer Russell T. Davies asked us to accept that they had been wiped out in an epic skirmish with the T.me Lords (who have since also come back, but a lot less frequently because … well, they ain't half as knaff as the shrill-voiced pepperpots).

The genocidal pepperpots have appeared roughly once a year like clockwork since the new series came back, and - given they are effectively made extinct each time - it doesn't really establish them as a credible threat.
